I could not understand the name of business, asked him to repeat 3 times, said something to do with comparing energy companies. When I politely said I was not interested the male got rude and started being quite nasty. Very unprofessional!!

Unsolicited call from Benefits and Deals? Didn’t answer their call as I didn’t recognise the number - when I called the number back there was a poor quality digital recording saying it was “Benefits and Deals” offering deals related to telco service. Number blocked.

My phone showed this number as a suspected scam and telemarketer so I didn't answer and blocked the number. But now im getting text messages of missed calls from that number, it's called 3 times today spaced 1-2 hours apart.

Keeps ringing but when my husband answered, the call just ended automatically. Also it comes up as Torquay. If any one has heard of them please let us know. It says they could be in Colac or Geelong.

Unsolicited call about swapping electricity and gas providers. The representative was really rude and would not reveal the source of where he accessed my phone details. I asked to speak with his manager and he refused. I asked for the name of the company listed as an ACN or ABN and I was told 'Benefit Bills' but when I returned the number he called from the automated phone service said it was 'Benefit Deal'.
